Guitarist Randy Randall recently discussed whether he felt successful after the release of their first three albums, telling Pitchfork: "I always have that awkward conversation at Thanksgiving, like, 'Why aren't you guys on American Idol?'

"If my sole purpose in playing music or in life was just to make money, I would have made a lot of different career choices - I definitely would not be in a guitar rock band in 2013. No one's here to get rich. At least, not me."

He also discussed his and drummer/vocalist Dean Spunt's songwriting process.

"Once we got into writing, we would take time and scrutinise things a little bit more. Like, 'Am I connecting or am I just unplugging and letting it go on autopilot?' We're trying to be conscious of that."
